VKB Gladiators now without tariff or shipping costs
« on: July 10, 2025, 03:10:35 PM »
VKB is now selling its Gladiator line from a North American locale so no tariff or shipping costs as Amazon is delivering them. Good deal if you ask me.

Grab them. They are great sticks for the money, better than x52 and 56.

I use zero scaling, damping, deadband settings on my VKB. Compared to a x52 that required quite a bit.

Hmm, the $90 stick that I want to order still shows $40 shipping. I guess it's only specific models. I just can't bring myself to pay $40 shipping on a $90 item lolz.

There is a glitch
Mine came from a USA warehouse, however they were out of stock and had to wait to come from China, which added tariffs. Putting a 120 to 170 or 180, lost track.

Catch 2. After using it, I would have paid 180 for it.  Verses, buying a stick with a plastic gimbal forcing a replacement 1-2 yrs down the road. Now you are past 180 to have a stick.The VKB gimbal will outlast 2-3 plastic gimbal sticks. VKB is a very smooth stick

I can concur on VKB products. I have the gladiator stick and WW2 throttle combo. For all of you LW pilots it is modeled after the 109 and 190 controls. https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gladiator-nxt-evo-wwii-combat-edition https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/gnx-wwii-throttle
